Mother's Day 2017

This Mother's Day (as always!), Brandon and the girls treated me so well!  The morning started off with a friend buying us a dozen gourmet doughnuts.  I mean, how can you say no to doughnuts?!  And what a sweet lady to think of me on Mother's Day! 
 
The morning started off sweet and then got sweeter as the girls gave me all the cards and goodies they made me!  So sweet and I love every little drawing.
 






Aubrey even made some things at school.



 
Then the hunt was on for my present, and they made me work for it this year with a very creative scavenger hunt.  With every clue came a little one of my favorite treats.
 
The first clue came with Swedish Fish :).
This clue came with some honey roasted almonds :).
 

This clue came with some yogurt covered raisins.
 

 
 And this last clue led me to the big present which was an Apple Watch!!
I was seriously shocked as we don't get big presents for each other like this, but Brandon put so much thought into why he got it for me and he was so to say that I've really worked hard this year and deserved something extra special.  Thank you Brandon for always encouraging me and making me feel special every single day!
 
On top of everything, my special guy made me a fresh strawberry pie completely from scratch!  It looked so pretty that pictures had to be taken of it!  And it was super yummy too!
 



 
These girls.  I live everyday for my family and I am thankful for the blessings I have in each one of them.  They have made me stronger, fight harder, love deeper.  I couldn't imagine my world without them and I love them to pieces!
 
This year of going back to work has made me appreciate them in a very special way that I never thought was possible.  The time I have with them is so precious and I don't want to take a moment for granted. I love spending time with them no matter what we are doing!
 




 
I was spoiled this Mother's Day (and always) by my little family.  Thank you for making it such a special day for mommy!  I love you all to the moon and back!


Preschool Springfest

Back in May we had Lucy's preschool Springfest!  The night was on the cooler side, but no rain and the girls enjoyed every minute of it!
 





 
It's hard to believe that Lucy's first year of preschool is over!  She doesn't qualify for TK because of her birthday, but I'll take another year of having a preschooler in the house :).

Jog-a-Thon!

 
First ever jog-a-thon and this girl did great!  It was so fun to watch this girl run her heart out! 
 












It was a beautiful, fun filled morning with this little runner!

April Tidbits

This month Aubrey got to be student of the week at school and with that came a weekend with her class animal Chubby :).  She got to write in the class journal of our weekend adventures with Chubby and share in her class about herself, her family and bring in some special items that mean a lot to her.  Super cute activity, but it came on such a busy weekend when family was here!
 

 
We got to attend a birthday party at a science museum in Lodi and it was super fun!  They got to go around the museum for a day and even be "scientists" in their lab coats and make kid friendly lava lamps! 
 
Their favorite activity was the simulator ride in a pretend jet!
 





 
Oh Half Moon Bay...how we love you :).





Aubrey has become quite the avid little reader and I love catching her read voluntarily all on her own!
 



This month we got to attend a skate night from Aubrey's school.  It was the girls' first time skating and it kind of felt like mommy and daddy's first time skating as well! It really has been such a long time since we've been on skates!
 

 
The girls loved skating and caught on pretty quickly to it!


 
And moments like this one just melt your heart.  No arguing or tantrums, just two girls reading a princess book and enjoying it together.  Love.
